Samsung Galaxy Nexus Review

16 GB (GT-I9250, GT-I9250M, GT-I9250T)     See other variants reviews Score: 64.3 / 100

Samsung Galaxy Nexus is a great phone launched many years ago, counting with a 4.7-inches touch-screen, a 1200 megahertz Dual-Core processing unit, a 5 megapixels back-facing camera and a 1.3 megapixels front camera.

This phone is much lighter than what you expect from a device like this. This cellphone is for sale in 2 color options, white and gray. The Nexus has a wonderful design, with a thickness of just 0.35 inches. Although this cellphone just has 5.33 inches long, it manages to hold a 4.7" screen.

Samsung packed this device with an amazing 4.7-inches screen, and a resolution of 1280 x 720 (HD), which makes all images and videos look absolutely great. Its screen uses Super AMOLED capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

Samsung sells the Nexus with a great performance Dual-Core processor running at 1.2 GHz, bundled in the TI OMAP4460 system chip and 1 GB RAM. Graphic rendering generally eats lots of CPU cycles, so this phone also has a 200 MHz PowerVR SGX540 GPU to unload the CPU. This phone has a 16 GB quite big internal storage memory and while it doesn't count with a slot for an external memory card, it should be enough to install hundreds of games and apps, but it may not be enough if you are planning to install some of the heaviest games available nowadays.

This cellphone includes wi-fi capability (and it can share it with other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G HSPA+ data connection, that is not so fast as LTE networks and the fastest 3G connection type, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a SIM card for GSM services.

This cellphone features two cameras, a 5 megapixels back-facing camera and a 1.3 mega-pixels front camera. the Samsung Galaxy Nexus's back-facing camera has a f/2.8 aperture so it struggles to take good pictures in low-light conditions. It also shoots videos in Full HD 1920x1080 at 30 fps. Additionally, the camera features a few nice features like flash, auto-focus and geo tagging.

The Nexus also includes a few cool characteristics like Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth (3.0) and GPS Geolocation, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.

This phone has a mid capacity 1750 mAh Li-Ion replaceable battery providing the Samsung Galaxy Nexus with a below average battery duration. Samsung claims this cellphone has a talk time of 17.7 hs and a stand by time of 290 hs.

This device is probably a little overpriced considering it is offerred for $ 105, while many similar phones cost less than that. No matter if you need a cellphone mostly for internet broswing and social networks, are an amateur photographer, need a cellphone for work or need a cellphone for playing games, this phone is probably very appropiate for you.
